Hello,

I ordered and installed the FS 2020 version with the PC code.

After FS 2020 I installed the digital owner add-on (can be only installed afterwards).

But when I start the FS 2020 then a screen is appearing to ask for a disk that I don't have.

What can I do to get it started?

    @Brynster 1,

    I placed it on my desktop screen. Mounting is easy : Just select OPEN WITH and then WINDOWS EXPLORER ...... that's it !

    Hey Dirk,

    I installed MS Flight 2020 and had the same problem. "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator disc" error "

    For me to launch MS Flight 2020, I logged into the Microsoft Store and launch it from there.

    So far it has worked without any errors to insert the install disk.

    The digital license and game is located in the Microsoft Store under games installed. I launch it from there.

    There are many ways people come up with which works but for me I like to keep it simple.

    I did mine this way so I won't have to turn off anything. i.e. firewall, anti-virus.

    Same problem here. 

    I bought the boxed version because it was cheaper in a store than online.

    I entered the key to my account, installed FS from the store and it ask for a dvd.

    Which i can't give because i don't have a dvd player in my computer.
